Maison du Posh Python and Ostrich Envelope Clutches: Love to hate it

Maison du Posh clutches are anything but posh. I’m all about exotic skin bags– especially in a timeless envelope style. But the cheap stitching of the skins and gaudy hardware took it to the other side of tacky. I’m blaming the clutter of trends, a case of too much of a would-be good thing. Manageable on black python ($1,256), but in ultra trendy holographic blue ostrich ($1,543) the overall effect is an assault on the eyes. Though I do appreciate the fact that the knuckle ring-style hardware (thank you, Alexander McQueen!) is actually functional, it just looks wrong and haphazardly placed as if it was an afterthought.
